Want to add RSS news feed
All the searches I did on the subject were more complex than what I'm looking to do.

The RSS news feed I'd like to appear on my page is:
https://www2.snl.com/irweblinkx/rss/prfeed.aspx?iid=100625

This is where i would like to put the code:

There apparently used to be an article on RSS feeds at this page:
http://kentico.com/docs/devguide/setting_up_an_rss_feed.htm

But that link does now work anymore.

Hi,

The documentation guidepost is always available at devnet.kentico.com/Documentation.aspx, you can find older versions there too.

RSS feeds articles were joined into Syndication chapter of the Modules, you can find it here:
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/6_0/devguide/syndication_overview.htm

Particularly, Example 4 - Displaying an external RSS feed probably describes what you want to achieve.

Regards,
Zdenek

RE:Want to add RSS news feed
I read through example 4, thank you. But I was not able to complete the following:

The instruction says "In the web part selection dialog, choose the Data sources -> RSS data source web and click OK."

But there is no "Data sources -> RSS data" option that I see. Here is what I see after I created the page. I click on the drop down and select Web parts per below:

But I do not see the RSS data option.

I also looked under the letter "R" to see if it is called "RSS data," but that is not there either.

I see there are options like Article RSS like this:

But the description for that web part selection says it is to acquire a "Kentico RSS" feed. But I want to get a feed from a third party website.

RE:Want to add RSS news feed
If you want to read an RSS feed from another site you'd have to use a webpart like this one: http://devnet.kentico.com/Marketplace/Syndication/RSS-Reader.aspx
